Locating Service Tag of your system

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. The Express Service Code and Service Tag are found

on the front of the system by pulling out the information tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the chassis of the

system. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
